| 9188743465 | cation | positively charged ion | 2 | |
| 9188743466 | charge | the fundamental electrical property to which the mutual attractions or repulsions between electrons or protons is attributed | 3 | |
| 9188743467 | charge by contact | where objects rub against each other to produce electric charge | 4 | |
| 9188743468 | charged by induction | process of rearranging electrons on a neutral object by bringing a charged object closed to it | 5 | |
| 9188743469 | charged | referring to matter having an excess of electrons or a deficiency of electrons | 6 | |
| 9188743470 | conductor | material, usually a metal, through which electric charge can flow; good conductors of heat are generally good charge conductors | 7 | |
| 9188743471 | conservation of charge | the principle that net electric charge is neither created nor destroyed but is transferable from one material to another | 8 | |
| 9188743472 | coulomb | SI unit of charge. One coulomb (symbol C) is equal to the total charge of 6.24 X 1018 electrons | 9 | |
| 9188743473 | coulomb's constant | value of k in Coulomb's Law. |  | 10 |
| 9188743474 | coulomb's law | the relationship among electrical force, charges, and distance; the electrical force between two charges varies directly as the product of the charges and inversely as the square of the distance between them | 11 | |
| 9188743475 | electric charge | charge obtained by an object when it gains or loses electrons | 12 | |
| 9188743476 | electrical force | a force that one charge exerts on another. When the charges are the same sign, they repel; when the charges are opposite, they attract | 13 | |
| 9188743477 | electrically polarized | term applied to an atom or molecule in which the charges are aligned so that one side is slightly more positive or negative than the opposite side | 14 | |
| 9188743478 | electrons | these have a negative charge and orbit the nucleus, an electron's charge (e) is the smallest amount of transferable charge | 15 | |
| 9188743479 | electrostatics | the study of electric charges at rest | 16 | |
| 9188743480 | electrostatic equilibrium | that there is no net flow of electric charge or no electric current | 17 | |
| 9188743481 | equilibrium | a stable situation in which forces cancel one another | 18 | |
| 9188743482 | grounding | allowing charges to move freely along a connection between a conductor and the ground | 19 | |
| 9188743483 | induced | term applied to electric charge that has been redistributed on an object because of the presence of a charged object nearby | 20 | |
| 9188743484 | induction | the charging of an object without direct contact | 21 | |

| 9188743491 | positive charge | the charge an object ha when it has lost electrons | 28 | |
| 9188743492 | protons | positively charged particles located in the nucleus | 29 | |
| 9188743493 | q | symbol used for charge | 30 | |
| 9188743494 | quantized | comes in certain very small amounts | 31 | |
| 9188743495 | repel | two charged that are the same do this | 32 | |
| 9188743496 | static | the build up of electric charges on an object | 33 | |
| 9188743497 | static electricity | occurs when electric chargers build up when materials are pulled apart or rubbed together | 34 |
